Letter From Home
BY THE HOMETOWNER

Dear Native son, out-of-town:

The grasshoppers and caterpillars who foretold us a mild winter were a little off the beam! The snow's still falling intermittently, with more in sight-however, clean white snow is much prettier than dirty slush.

Speaking of weather, Caroline (Cunningham) and John Schettig, who with sons Robert and Alan are on Navy duty in Hawaii, celebrated their island holiday by going swimming! Caroline, homesick for a white Christmas, says it was hard to get into the proper mood while singing carols wearing shorts-and going barefoot!

Olean (Evans) and "Art" Roberts will be doing their next votin' in the West Ward, since they have moved into one of the apartments in the former Lewis homestead on West Highland.

George (of the clever scissors) Rennie and his pretty wife Ruthie have moved too-on West High street, where George will set up his beauty shop in a new location.

Those of you who are regular readers of the Pennsylvania Angler will be interested to know that the new series of articles it's running are written by Wendell Dittmar, who's the husband of native daughter Barbara (Verda and Don) Evans. The D's now live in Carlisle, where Wedell's a seed analyst and botanist for the state.

Vital statistics recapitulation from December-we negleced (sic) to congratulate Tom and Betty (McConnell) Westrick and Clair and Alice Williams, who both added the seventh child to their families in that month. New Councilman Clair's "City" Father" title is very apt!

BROWNIE BULLETIN

It is hoped to make bird feeders at the next meeting. Anyone having mesh bags in which oranges are usually packed, please call one of the Brownies or their leaders for a number of these bags are needed for this project.
